This ancient, twisted chestnut tree is estimated to be over 2,000 years old, making it one of the oldest living things in Europe. Its gnarled branches stretch out in all directions, creating a canopy that provides shade and shelter. The tree's massive trunk is deeply furrowed, with ridges and grooves that tell the story of centuries of growth and weathering. Despite its age, the tree remains surprisingly healthy, with new growth sprouting from its ancient limbs. Visitors can walk beneath its boughs, taking in the eerie silence and the sense of history that permeates the air.
